Try not to do it again? You probably haven't done any harm so don't worry about it. If you're overly paranoid though you could always change your transmission fluid and send a sample out for analysis. Since this is a used car I would recommend you do change the fluid anyways. I wouldn't send that out for analysis though unless it feels like you have a problem.

Slow your shift down , you can and will destroy the trans. The Z does not like to get shifted like a Honda
